Time tested and worth every penny,
I’m a lifelong heavy lifter and Animal Pak fills every last nutritional hole I can think of, and then some. Aminos. Vitamins and minerals. Antioxidants. Digestive support. Natural energy. Throw in some of their creatine, Pumps, ZMA, and protein and my stack is complete (well, almost… I still replace their Cuts with BELDT: Force Thermogenic since it helps me lean out a lot easier). And I DEFINITELY feel when the Pak isn’t there too, because everything suffers. Strength, recovery, stamina, all of it. Especially recovery. Tore my right quad three months back, so I doubled up the Paks (was only using 1 before) and cut my down-time almost in half.

A rip off and pissing away money,
IMO, this pertains to just about every supplement you see on the market today. There are a few tricks/legal loopholes that supplement companies can use to fluff their labels to make it seem like you’re getting a hell of a lot more ingredient than you are – the reality of it, though, is that the ingredient does not have to be readily bioavailable or active. You’ll see that alot in some of the most popular daily vitamins (looking at you OT) and packs on the market today. Keep this in mind, but it’s very difficult to spot any of these loopholes without a lot of knowledge in 1) chemistry and 2) FDA labeling guidelines/regulations.
My biggest issues with animal pak are the following:
Vitamin D is obnoxiously low. we’re all aware of the benefits of higher vitamin D consumption and a true daily pack should mean you don’t have to go out and buy another Vit D supplement to supplement your supplement, nomsayin?
The entire B-complex is dosed extremely high. This may have not been a big deal if you weren’t suppose to take this supplement daily – however, if you’re taking it daily for extended periods of time I highly suggest you take a look at this: […](links to study in article). There’s absolutely no reason that the B-complex of vitamins should be dosed this high. It’s just putting unnecessary stress on your body to process and dispose of these excess vitamins. I believe they’ve dosed it this high due to the reported “rush”, “clarity” & “energy” b6+b12 bring you when taking in mega-doses.
400mg of magnesium oxide taken at once is a laxative 😉
the mineral portion of this product are poorly bioavailable as sulfates. At this day and age, in a quality product, they should be Amino Acid Chelates.
Zinc in oxide form is poorly bioavailable compared to other various forms (sulfate, methenione, AAC, picolinate)
Selenium should be L-Selenomethionine for proper bioavailability.
Amino Acid Complex is just 6 grams of Whey Protein Concentrate (listed as the subsequent amino acid breakdown of whey). This kind of thing really turns me off. What it is: cheap WPC, what they want you to think it is: advanced, homeopathic mixture of amino acids that will cause some sort of amazing effect on yo gains bruh.
Performance Complex has quite a few fluffer ingredients, so underdosed that they wont actually do anything. These include: Carnitine, Hawthorne Berry, Oriental Ginseng ROOT (Not the extract!!)
Anti-Oxident Complex is 60% fluff ingredients. Sadly, the most important ingredients on the list are all significantly underdosed these are: CoQ10: 5mg; Grape Seed Extract: 50mg; Lutein: 1mg; The majorly important ingredient in this section is CoQ10, and it’s worthless at 5mg.
Digestive Enzyme Complex: Bromelain is not reported correctly. The efficacy of bromelain is measured by GDU (Gelatin Dissolving Units). There is no mention of the concentration of GDU in this bromelain. The cost differentiation between a low gdu bromelain and a high gdu bromelain can be 8x as much for the same amount of overall bromelain. Any good businessman knows if they’re not saying how many gdu, they’re at the cheapest dose. Even at the purest form of bromelain with an extremely high (2000+) gdu count, 100mg is not clinically enough to help digestion.
Inulin aids good and bad bacteria in the gut – I don’t prefer its use, seems redundant to me. Lipase is actively measured in LU (lipase activity units). There is no specification of how many LU this 10mg provides; According to UMM an adult should take a daily sum total of 18,000 LU of lipase per day to see beneficial effects.
These are just some of the more glaringly obvious things I have a problem with in this formulation. I’m really tired of the hidden dishonesty of supplement companies trying to fluff their labels and mislead their customer base. A good daily supplement should consist of three things: 1) bioavailable, quality sources of vitamins and minerals, 2) only include herbal supplements dosed EFFECTIVELY according to clinical studies. 3) not need to be supplemented with other individual daily vitamins to be optimally effective.
Above all else, the best customer is an educated customer. These poor formulation practices end when the customer refuses to settle for subpar ingredients and demands a better quality supplement.

The REAL Benefits of Animal Paks,
I don’t think many people really understand what Animal Paks are. A friend of mine once described them as
“Like, the closest thing to steroids you can buy legally.” Others, in online reviews talk about pump, intensity, and focus. I say bullcrap to all of it.
What Animal Paks REALLY are is a mega pack of vitamins. It’s like a one-a-day gone totally nuts.
Each pack has about 15 vitamins…and yes, some of them are horse-pill sized monsters.
I think the hype about this product is garbage…not from the folks who make it as much as the people
who write reviews that are complete bunk.
That being said, I’m a huge believer in this product, and I love using it. Why?
Several reasons.
First, the general feeling of well-being is great. When I consistently take Animal Paks, I just generally
feel better. No surprise there: I’m getting a ton of vitamins and minerals. We all feel better when we work out
consistently; Animal Paks just add to that. I feel healthier, less run down, more alert and awake at school,
and I feel that my recovery is better after a work out. Why? No magic mojo. Just the simple fact that I’m giving
my body a ton of good things to rebuild with. I want my diet to be better, certainly, but some days that just isn’t
doable. Animal Pak helps pick up the slack. Note that it’s not a REPLACEMENT for a good diet though.
Also, I feel that I do get better sleep from the ZMA complex in the Paks, and that my immune system works a little
better overall. Again, no magic mojo, just good sense. The right nutrition is important and I feel that Animal Paks
help me with that.
I work out often and I really enjoy it. Animal Paks definitely help me get towards a more healthy lifestyle…
and Amazon really has the best prices and reputation anywhere. There’s not magic pill to getting ripped, and Animal Paks aren’t boosters, protein replacements, or steroids. They’re just awesomely souped up multi-vites that I really like.
